(frustrating how slow the forums are loading today)
From part 1 of the exercise answer:
[1] My range in CO to open, based upon the description of the players to follow, is 22+, Axs, A9o+, KTs+, KJo, QJs and sometimes QJo, SC's down to 67.

Now back to this post... ok... let's see.. you asked "The exercise here is to write out what your flop range is and how you play each hand in your range."

So, I'll list the ranges and the actions after them:
22+, At, A6, A5, Kt : C-bet this flop to build pot
Ax, KJ, QJ: C-bet this flop probably 60% - 70% of the time

I hope that was what you were after, the immediate post-flop action, if you wanted reaction to villian action after the immediate action, I missed it..
In Exercise 1 you're looking at how your range changes from street to street after you take a certain line. In Exercise 2 you're just looking at how your range breaks down on a single street. They're related ideas, but different, similar to how pot odds when you're calling an all-in and implied odds when you're calling with a draw with money behind are related ideas, but still different.

Both of these are just asking what your range is, which is a pretty easy question. In Exercise 3, we're asking why exactly your range is what it is in terms of exploitation and the ability to be exploited yourself, which is a slightly more difficult question, and coincidentally one that no one has answered yet after over 50 views.

Basically I'm taking this one step at a time so people don't get overwhelmed with the process, but we're taking a hand and completely deconstructing and analyzing our play as individuals. That's why there is no right or wrong answer to Exercises 1 & 2 because it depends on your own personal opening ranges pre-flop in that situation and your own disposition towards continuation betting.

There are too many of you guys for me to go through and check each of your analysis individually. Hopefully you guys can do that for each other to assist in your own individual processes of learning.

Exercise 4 is going to build on Exercise 3, but it's going to have a focus on exploitation and ideas in balance instead of just mindlessly typing out a range. That's why for months now I've bitched at people to put their opponents on ranges and think about how their opponents play those ranges. You have to be able to do that before you can think about how to exploit them, maximize your EV, or adjust when they do.
Thanks Spoon, I'm working on 3 now, trying to figure it out... hopefully will have something to post shortly (if work time permits)
